Thompson Construction

Gary was prompt, polite and very nice. Seemed very knowledgeable about concrete work. Price was competitive and was willing to work job in early October before it started to get colder, thus shortening cure time. Results are excellent. Very pleased with the quality and craftsmanship of the newly poured concrete. Time will tell how it holds up. Also, Gary was the only estimate that offered to use a special sealer that can go on new concrete, at no additional charge. Overall, very happy with experience.

Everything was fantastic. I called the company and Mr. Thompson called me back just 3 hours later. He was very nice and competent. He explained everything. They came to look at the job that same evening and gave us a quote. Their quote was alot less than what I had been quoted by another company. They set a certain date and something had come up. They let us know that they would be at my house the very next day. They took the old floor out, removed everything, put the new floor in, and cleaned everything up. They did such a nice job and were such nice people.

Gary indicated he would be at our house at 4:30pm unless he had a job, in which case he would call. He neither called or showed up. Will never consider this company again.

I researched many companies and received two estimates before having Gary replace our front stoop. I hired him based on his strong Angie's List reputation and his fair price. Gary planned the job according to the weather forecast and called a couple days ahead to let us know he was coming. He and his crew member removed the old stoop one day and setup the frame for the new one. They returned the following day to pour the new stoop. (We had relatives coming into town that afternoon and Gary checked to make sure he wouldn't interfere with those plans.) The result is a solid concrete porch with an attractive broom finish. Gary let us know how long to wait to stain the concrete (something we plan on doing ourselves). Gary made a point of reminding me to review him on Angie's List and to be sure and mention what a good cleanup job he did, however I can't attest to that completely. Some small bits of new, wet concrete must have fallen onto our exisiting walkway, leaving some obvious stains. That clean up job is now on my to-do list. We also had to remove stray nails and gravel and replace some grass in front of the stoop - all which could have been avoided. Overall, however, I realize these issues are minor. The important thing is we have a beautiful new front stoop!

Gary did a great job. He did what I had asked him to do to accommodate my needs. He even went above the call of duty, took his time and did the job carefully. He cleaned up after himself and during the work.

Once they arrived everything went off like clock work. The broke out the the old slabs, lifted the air conditioner, leveled everything out, compact the stone they brought in, inserted wire mesh and pulled in into the concrete,poured 5 plus inches, and did a very professional job on sloping and finishing the job. This was a small job and they met our needs. They answered the questions in a way someone without all the concrete experience could understand.

Gary Thompson was great to work with. He came out on a weekend to scope the job and provide a quote. The job was done in the expected time-frame and right on budget. The job site was clean with no damage to adjacent lawn and sprinkler system. I highly recommend him.

They did an excellent job. The workers were professional and polite. They were also confident in their work.

Gary was very prompt for our first appointment. He provided me with an estimate on the spot and answered all of my questions thoroughly and to my satisfaction. After returning the signed proposal to him, he called me and stated they were ahead of schedule and asked whether they could come the week prior to Memorial Day weekend to do the work. I had originally asked for the work to be done in early June, but this was close enough to our timing, plus it gave us the 3-day weekend to put in topsoil and grass seed around the areas where the new concrete was poured. Gary and his team were very careful not to damage our lawns and the patch-up work afterwards to the lawn is minimal compared to some other concrete jobs I've seen. They did the demo on Thursday and poured on Friday. He was here to seal the concrete Friday afternoon and even helped my wife carry groceries in from the car - this goes above and beyond and certainly distinguishes him very favorably from other contractors we've hired in the past. He left a couple of piles of dirt for us to use to fill in the gaps around the sidewalks and re-attached the handrails on our front porch within a week of doing the initial work. He also found a way to keep our central AC unit propped up so that the patio could be poured without disconnecting and re-connecting the AC unit. This saved us the inconvenience of going without AC on some pretty hot days. The finished product is solid, clean, and decorative as he took a bit of creative license in adding some contour to the shape of the patio. All in all an outstanding experience. Our neighbors also came over and told us how impressed they were with the fine work that had been done.

It was a pleasure doing business with Gary Thompson from start to finish. I called for an estimate on my project and he called back promptly and then came out that same day. He gave me a very reasonable and fair price and I decided to have Gary do the job. He is very knowledgeable and professional. With 35 years of experience and a very good reputaion on Angies List, I felt comfortable going with Thompson Costruction. Gary called several weeks later and we set up a day that worked for both of us. Gary and one other crew member came on time and completed the job exactly as promised. He kept me informed throughout the day on the progress, and it looks great. I will definitely hire Gary again for any concrete needs I may have.

I have no complaints for this company. They told me ahead of time what they were doing when extra parts had to be ordered. This added to the original quote, but they still did a great job. They kept at it until the work was completed. My yard looks great!

I had multiple contractors come to discuss options on the work I wanted done for which I also received multiple estimates. Therefore I was well versed on concrete projects in general by the time Gary came to my home. When I called Gary, it was already late in the season; I was dragging my feet on getting the work completed because I had not found a contractor I was happy with. Gary came to look at the work in about 24 hrs from my call. He talked to me about options and more than once said, 'whomever you choose to do this work...'. He was not a salesman - He was a professional, sharing his almost 40 years of expertise in the business and wanted to be sure that if/when I had the work done, I had it done correctly. He was honest about cost, materials used, the techniques he and his crew used. He gave me options at different price points and explained the pros/cons of each. The result was beyond my expectations. You may think, concrete steps are concrete steps, but these new steps look fantastic. He leveled the grade, made them wider and gave them a sleek shape that makes the approach to the house much more attractive. I have gotten multiple compliments on them. He also removed a large pine tree positioned next to the steps, post-cost estimate, and no charge. It likely made his job easier, but ensured the roots would not interfere with the concrete foundation in the future as well. The retaining wall looks wonderful. What was standard concrete block is now decorative landscaping block with gravel and weep holes for drainage. Very nicely done. All was done in 2 days by Gary himself and one other member of his crew. They cleaned up the yard, sidewalk and driveway perfectly. I would not hesitate to bring Gary's company back for any concrete work in the future. I spoke to 5 other concrete contractors and they are a different breed of folks. Gary's genuine desire to do good work and the pride he takes in his work sets him apart from the competition.

When I tried to get an appointment to have him to look at my driveway, he said he couldn't come out until Friday October 24th. I called him on the 15th. I assumed that he would want to come during the day, so he could see the damage. He said he wouldn't be able to come out to look at it until six or seven at night. I felt he was being brisk with me, almost like I was wasting his time. He was very uninterested. He said that because he's on Angie's List, he must be very good.

Gary came out for an estimate on a Sunday and started the job 2 weeks after that. I had a couple of estimates already, but they all were almost double and would not have been to my specifications. He started the job on Monday morning and was done by Friday due to the weather. He did additional things to improve my property and make them safe for my tenants and did not charge me. He truly did an outstanding job. It just looks marvelous! I never thought I could get excited about concrete work. He is on my Top 10 contractor list, very well priced and outstanding quality.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE! A PLEASURE TO HAVE GARY AND HIS WORKERS DO THE WORK IN A PROFESSIONAL,QUALITY MINDED JOB. THEY EVEN WERE ABLE TO SQUEEZE IN A NEW PORCH FOR A NEIGHBOR ON SHORT NOTICE. BOTH JOBS LOOK GREAT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO CONSIDER GARY THOMPSON FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT. PLAN EARLY, AS HE BOOKS UP TO DO THE GREAT JOB HE DOES.

Received an estimate in a timely manner. After I had decided on Thompson construction, it was about 2 weeks before the work was done. The initial pour was done in one day, however after a weekend of rain an area of pooling was noted on the front step. When I mentioned my concern to Gary, he stated he would look at it the next day and when I returned home from work, the entire pour had been removed. It was re-poured a day later. This time with no problems. I very much appreciated that the problem was fixed with no hassles. I think this shows a company that cares about its work and reputation. Overall a pretty good experience.

Gary Thompson did a fantastic job. Came on time and did the work in a very professional manner. Excellent quality and the work looks great. Completed the work when he said they would. Gary gave me suggestions on things I could do to improve my area around the house while the old concrete was out and before the new concrete was laid. Gary's price was over 30% less than another bid and he did more work!

It was fine, we have used them before.

The whole project went very well. Gary came out and gave me an estimate on the weekend. He recommended I have the hand railings repaired instead of purchasing new to save me some money. Within a few days of accepting his offer, they removed the hand railings and sent them in for repair. There was a little bit of delay while we waited for the railings to be finished, however, this was out of Gary's control I believe. Once the hand railings were ready, the concrete removal/re-pour and railing installation was all completed within one day. The crew arrived by 7 am and was done by the time I arrived home that night at 5 pm. I couldn't be more pleased with the end result. The quality of work was very good. Gary seems like a very honest, down to earth, and hard-working individual. I would certainly consider hiring them again in the future.

The work could not be done by the date specified because the project ahead of us encountered a delay. We were notified by phone of an alternate date and the work was done at that time. We are pleased with the results and the care taken to allow repair to the rest of the drive in the future.

Excellent work. The job was performed as scheduled, and they did an excellent job. Clean up was great as well. The experience with this company was wonderful from start to finish. We received an estimate in a timely fashion and, when we hired them for the job, it was completed quickly and totally to our satisfaction.

Gary and his crew showed up a 6:30am in the morning. And by 6:30 that night I had the old cracked driveway removed and a gorgeous new one in it's place. It looks fabulous. The crew was friendly and cleaned up every last bit of the mess. I am very pleased. I would recommend Thompson construction to anyone with concrete needs.

The results look great! Mr. Thompson was the only contractor who ended up coming to give an estimate. The others never returned our calls. He returned all phone calls in a timely manner and was great to work with. We will be asking him to take a look at more work for us in the future.

Gary was very punctual in stopping by and giving an estimate. Gary showed up to the job timely. Unfortunately, Gary did not review the weather forecast closely. He poured half of the patio and it started raining. He covered the poured concrete with tarp and came back 2 days later to finish the other half of the patio. As a result, the patio has "divots" in the concrete where the rain had hit the concrete, plus the patio does not match right now since it was poured on 2 different days with different weather conditions, etc. I asked Gary if and when it would match. He told me "my guess was as good as his". He told me to blame the meteorologist that had not forecasted rain. I pulled up weather.com that first morning and rain was in the forecast. I was disappointed that he rushed to get the job done with rain in the forecast and he did not take ownership for the bad judgment. Instead he blamed the meteorologist. Hopefully the concrete will match in time, but the divots are there forever.

They were very prompt and courteous. Everything was taken care of within an hour or so.
